"Wh-…what meat bun?"
Erina Nakiri's face was red, her head lowered, and her beautiful eyes were full of shyness.
"Ah!"
Suddenly, she let out a gasp, her body stiffened, and her two long legs straightened.
"Your hand is so cold!"
She turned her head and glared at Satou angrily.
Satou slipped his hand into Erina Nakiri's white shirt, feeling her warm, soft belly. It was plump and felt very nice.
He even pinched it, and indeed, two soft lumps of flesh appeared.
"Oh? I didn't expect I could actually pinch out a meat bun."
Satou let out a soft exclamation.
Erina Nakiri was both annoyed and amused, and she turned her head away in embarrassment, glaring at him.
"Everyone has some flesh on their belly when they sit down! Also, can you take your hand out now? My stomach is so cold."
She complained.
"No."
Satou refused without thinking, because the Tsundere's belly was warm and soft, feeling very nice, like a hand warmer.
He pinched it a few times and felt that the Tsundere seemed to have gained a little weight, perhaps because of all the delicious food over the past six months, which had made her a bit plump.
Erina Nakiri was a little exasperated, "Are you treating my stomach like a hand warmer?"
"Mhm. You found out."
Satou nodded, and soon his hand warmed up.
"I just wonder when a baby will be born here."
"Eh?"
Erina Nakiri's entire face instantly turned red, and she shyly said, "Well, I think we should wait until we're both a bit older. At the earliest… it would have to be after graduation, right?"
"That makes sense, but I think we can start working hard now."
Satou nodded, and then his two hands began to become restless.
"Again… again here? Or should we go to the room?"
Erina Nakiri's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she struggled slightly.
…
The next day was a holiday.
Satou, in his sleep, rolled over, wanting to hug a certain Tsundere, but he found nothing.
He sat up, rubbed his eyes, and found that the quilt beside him was already empty. On the pillow, a few strands of golden hair still remained.
"Has this girl already gotten up?"
Satou muttered, then glanced at the alarm clock on the nearby table. It was already ten in the morning.
Happiny opened the door and, seeing that Satou was already awake, quickly brought in breakfast.
Satou lay in bed and finished his breakfast.
The breakfast was exquisitely prepared, clearly made by the Tsundere. Before leaving, she had specifically instructed Happiny to keep it warm, so it was still warm when he ate it.
After finishing breakfast, brushing his teeth, and washing his face, Satou heard the system's voice.
"Host has accumulated five daily gift packages. Would you like to open them?"
"Open them."
"Host opened a daily gift package, Cooking Level +1.
Host opened a daily gift package, received a bunch of diamond grape.
Host opened a daily gift package, received one jin of Black Rice.
Host opened a daily gift package, Cooking Level +1.
Host opened a daily gift package, Cooking Level +2."
Besides opening a few good ingredients, his cooking level had now reached eighty-two, and his culinary skills were stronger than before.
"What should I do next? Go to the movies with Thor and the others? Or read a novel on the Senior's bed?"
Erina Nakiri had already gone to work, and Satou had nothing to do. "Or I could go to Polar Star Dormitory to play with Megumi and the others, or should I go find Alice?"
He found that he seemed to have quite a few options, and each one was pretty good.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, his phone rang.
Satou picked up his phone, glanced at it, and was surprised to find that the text message was from Nakano Miku.
"Twelve noon, Yoshinoya Grilled Meat Restaurant. There's something I want to tell Satou. This feeling cannot be suppressed."
The image of the girl with pinkish-brown hair, an indifferent expression, and wearing black stockings immediately appeared in Satou's mind.
This girl's personality was a bit strange; he didn't know what was in her head all day long.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think this was a confession text, but Satou wasn't so narcissistic as to believe that after only meeting once, the other person would fall in love with him.
"Hmm, is it because I saw her phone screen? It didn't seem like anything remarkable, did it? Could she be a member of some military general enthusiast club?"
Satou muttered to himself, but thinking back to the girl's sharp gaze at the time, it seemed he had stumbled upon some incredible secret of hers…
"Should I go?"
Satou hesitated. He had no relationship with this girl. If he ignored her, after a few times, there would be no connection.
But after thinking about it, it seemed a bit impolite, and she was also the Senior's student.
"Forget it, I'll go take a look," Satou sighed, then walked out of the Apartment and took the train to the designated location.
This was an affordable grilled meat restaurant. Because of its reasonable prices, large portions, and good taste, it was very popular with the public.
Satou checked the time; he was five minutes early. The girl hadn't arrived yet, so he decided to buy a drink or something first.
Ahead of him in line was a young man with dark blue hair, long bangs, and a somewhat gloomy expression.
"Grilled meat set meal, no grilled meat."
When it was his turn, he said calmly.
The people queuing nearby were instantly stunned by his words.
Even Satou looked at him with a hint of admiration.
Impressive!
Coming to a grilled meat restaurant and saying something like that, young man, you are not an ordinary person.
The young man paid calmly, disregarding the gazes of those around him, and picked up his food.
Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a clear, cold voice rang out from the queue next to him.
"Grilled meat set meal, no grilled meat."
The speaker was a red-haired girl with a standard oval face, large eyes, delicate features, and a petite build.
The people around were once again shocked.
Even the restaurant staff were a little dumbfounded.
Such oddities were not unheard of, but encountering two at the same time was extremely rare.
However, the girl's demeanor was unusually calm, completely unfazed by the gazes of those around her.
As if sensing each other's presence, the girl and the blue-haired young man exchanged glances, an unspoken feeling of mutual appreciation subtly passing between them.
"Oh, why is it you, this guy?"
Satou suddenly let out a soft exclamation and asked.
This red-haired girl was none other than Yusa Emi.
